NORRISTOWN — A Philadelphia man has been arrested on charges of homicide by vehicle and driving after imbibing marijuana, according to a press release from the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office.

Djuan Dominique Stout was parked illegally on East Main Street in Norristown on Nov. 3, 2013, according to the DA’s office. He then allegedly pulled out of the parking spot to make a U-turn across the road. The victim, Gary R. Malone Jr. of Norristown, was driving a motorcycle on Main Street and crashed into the side of Stout’s vehicle. Malone was taken to Mercy Suburban hospital, where he died of his injuries.

A blood sample was taken from Stout after the crash, and analysis by National Medical Services determined that marijuana was present in his system, according to the press release.

The case will be prosecuted by Assistant District Attorney Jason Whalley.

Stout was arraigned Thursday before District Judge Francis Lawrence and remanded to the Montgomery County Correctional Facility in lieu $25,000 bail.
